CS #705 - Growing

[Kry27]

These native "Carolina" lilies are growing deep in the forest on a friend's property. We were invited over to view them today.

Incredible shots, Jim!
Can't even decide yet... but tend to like the second one even more than the already beautiful first one.

Lots of ideas, but today was baking day, a French Boule with 20% whole wheat. Here we go:

1. First rise, growing . . .

2. Bulk rise after shaping, still growing.

3. The finished product—no more growing—except me.

(don't worry - we've eaten many many strawberries already, all red and tasty. And also greens and yellows. Hmmm..!!!)

Roland, What a beautiful garden!! Everything looks delicious. Loved seeing your family in the garden!! Thank you so much for your wonderful submission.

1)
I was devastated. Tomorrow, it'll be 3 weeks since my dad was told he's suffering from pancreas cancer.

He wasn't feeling well for weeks, not knowing why he wasn't really OK. And it took some time to find out - but I think he knew, must have known, something serious is going on. While for that type, 'serious' is an understatement.

Incredible how brave he is, laughing, enjoying the kids, strong, collected - we are so proud. "Well, so we have to go through that one, I can't change it anyway." He started chemotherapy a week ago. And all these hospital visits a walks outside with a f.... mask, of course...

Your family is so precious. All the photos are so heartwarming. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. That is so incredibly hard. We never know what tomorrow will bring, do we..... Hope you feel the love of your family to carry you through this rough time every day.

"Well, so we have to go through that one, I can't change it anyway."

Smart and brave man. That makes all your pictures suddenly even nicer and more precious.

These are stunning. Perfect quality, the lens/camera deliver!
So lively flowers, smooth OOF background. But one small thing: in the third one my eye always moves to the right, unsharp flower. A bit distracting. I really prefer the other one of the whites, and would like to see a crop/composition without the right one.

Thank you. Good point about the third photo.

These alpacas can concentrate on growing their fleeces back in time for colder weather.

This bug grew so fast that it had to shed its skin. Actually this is an exoskeleton from a Cicada moth.

My wife is from northern MN, and she loved this one! I did too, you handled the bright white so well!

Exceptionally good detail in the bright white.

Well done.

Yes, though it's early days yet. Looking forward to trying it in the woods, especially when the fungi start growing.

hurry up and give it the 2 thumbs up! I'm starting to get tempted. Though what I really need it a lightweight, cheap tripod with a center column that I can use for still life/table top/close ups/etc.

Boy you can tell I am getting old. I tried to post an image in this tread and it showed up as a thumbnail attachment. I finally figured it out so if any of you missed my post you can now see it above.
